PACE COUNSELING
To schedule a counseling appointment, please book through General Counseling. All counselors can assist you.
Note: You do not need to see a counselor before enrolling in classes. Counseling appointments are for students who need a Student Education Plan, progress check, graduation petition, or other related services. If you have previously met with a counselor, you should have a Student Education Plan or planning forms (GE plan and ADT plan) to guide your enrollment choices.
